| Abstract: |
| For more than a decade, the ASB Partnership has tried various approaches in the tropical forest margins. A recent effort to take stock, reflect on what has worked well, and identify the main challenges enabled scientists to distinguish three types of knowledge that reside with the three main actors:
1. Local ecological knowledge (LEK) resides among local people and is embedded in local ‘context’;
2. Public space/policy ecological knowledge (PEK) is concerned with immediate ‘impact’; and
3. Scientific, researchers or modellers’ ecological knowledge, (SEK/MEK) is seeking generic ‘mechanisms’. |
